"If we do not solve this problem, we are not going to want to live in Southern California. "
In case you are wondering why Californians have been fleeing this state.
SoCal today. Your state tomorrow.

stringent state environmental regulations hampering manufacturing and construction.The reason home prices are skyrocketing is because zoning restrictions (lot sizes and so on) have made building new homes prohibitively expensive.

No kidding. I mostly disliked the movie “Elysium”, but I think it was dead on in its depiction of the future of Southern CA.

“Also in 1970, 70.4 percent of adults in the region had at least a high school diploma, more than 8 percentage points better than the national average. By 2012, 42.3 percent of adults had attained that same level of education, trailing the national average of 41.7 percent.”
Horrible numbers but 42 doesn’t trail 41.

Unfortunately this isn’t going to change soon as we here in California are surrounded by Democrats. Democrats only know how to screw things up, NOT fix anything.
Until that day arrives when people wake up......
Dreaming again.

If there is a way to screen out the effect of drugs on the poverty level I believe these social scientist will be dumbstruck.
It's has nothing to do with diplomas or manufacturing.

Democrats think the problem could best be solved by importing millions more third worlders.

Meanwhile decent homes here start at just over $100,000, very nice ones at $250,000 and near-mansions at $500,000 or so.

LBJ and his Great Society re-enslaved minorities with programs that stoked dependence on government and destroyed families.
The Dems have done everything possible to continue to feed a sense of victimization and dependence.

Dallas/Ft Worth metro area. We have jobs, too, and low taxes. It’s no coincidence that so many people and companies are moving here.

Exactly. I saw where they want to raise the gasoline tax once again.

Yup, that’s right, but then that’s what they want to do with everything in front of them. Tax it, raise the taxes on it, or eliminate it if it can’t be taxed.
